COMMUNITY GRANT FUND

Our ability to fund a network of local nonprofits that are doing the boots-on-the-ground work and invest in long-term solutions along the way is made possible through our community's collective generosity. Every three years, a new grant cycle commences, during which nonprofit agencies from our community are invited to submit funding proposals.

VOLUNTEER-DRIVEN + EFFECTIVE

  • Applications are meticulously reviewed by a panel of community volunteers

  • Volunteers assess each program for its maximum effectiveness

  • Selection of programs is based on their scores and the specific needs of our community
